Hey peeples! Don't spear me! I just watched Ice Age yesterday. But don't kill me, seriously! I know I haven't updated since December, and it is now...March...I am so sorry! there's been a lot going on and...
Random mob of angry people: Get on with it!
Okay I will! Now on to the...author's note! You thought I was gonna say on to the story, didn't you? Gets glared at by random mob and sweat drops ' Eheheh...
Just to let you know, this story is supposed to be serious, but, seeing as how none of the authoresses can remain serious for any amount of time, this may be getting more random. Hope ya don't mind. So yah. If the character's structures seem to change at all, don't be surprised. Sorry if you don't like it but it was inevitable. Three nuts like us being serious for a whole story? Too good to be true. If you really don't like it, you don't have to read it. (I'm kidding! Please don't stop reviewing! I would die if I stopped getting reviews! T-T (Well, not really, but you know what I- gets glared at again and gulps) Right. If anything, please please PLEASE don't flame. I absolutely hate flames. They stink. Do you really want to hurt me? Do you really want to make me cry? Hehehehe…
The aforementioned nuts don't own Zelda, the Wizard of Oz, that 70's show, or any other things we may have alluded (haha, funny word.)to!Thank you, come again!
OoOoO Koenma's office OoOoO
"Good I'm glad all of you could make it." Koenma said looking at the comparatively large group gathered in the room. On one side of the room Niteblaze sat next to Hiei, nodding off on his shoulder. Zorrita and Kurama had taken the couch in the middle of the room. Yuna had just forcibly kicked Kuwabara off the couch on the other side of the room and onto the floor in front of Koenma's desk. Alucita was sitting in a chair, staring off into space. Yusuke was trying to get Yuna to share the couch with him. Koenma sighed. "My inside sources have informed me that Carnage is going after a sacred artifact that grants the users wish."
"And you want us to go get it from him." Yusuke mumbled, sitting down.Yuna stuck her tongue out at him as she made room for him.
"No, I want you to keep it from him."
"What artifact is this exactly?" Kurama asked.
"It's known as the Golden Triangle. This is a very rare and hard-to-track item, as it possess some sort of intelligence and can assume different forms. It lays in a temple in Amerikai. This jungle is called the-"
"The Crazy Ass Forest of Doom." Niteblaze murmured through Hiei's hair.
"Niteblaze sit up and pay attention. And that is what it's commonly called." Koenma said.
"Wow I haven't been there since my trial started." Zorrita mused aloud.
"Trial, what trial? Why were you on trial?" Kuwabara questioned.
"Don't ask questions that take years to explain." Niteblaze snapped.
Thwack
Yuna was now minus one boot.
"What was that for!" Kuwabara asked, rubbing his head.
"Asking stupid questions, plus Turnip felt like hurting somebody." Yuna remarked with a smirk.
"Who's Turnip?" he asked.
"Didn't I just tell you not to ask questions that need long explanations?" Niteblaze asked, glaring at the idiot.
"Yes…"
"Then why'd you ask another one?"
"I don't know…"
"Don't bother with 'im Blaze. Could Turnip have his shoe back now?" Yuna asked, leaning back on the couch. Niteblaze tossed the shoe back towards Yuna, and it accidentally bounced off Kookaburra's head. Meanwhile Zorrita had begun her explanation of Kuwabara's first question.
"Well it all started when I had just stolen this super uber duber shiny thing. I had just gotten it and put it in my room. I went to some party and when I woke up the next morning…
Flash Back
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! MY ARTIFACT!" a younger looking Zorrita screamed tearing up her living room. "I know I put it around here somewhere."
All over the house there were papers and broken things mixed with clothing. She began digging in her room, throwing every thing off her bed, including a person. She was in a dead panic. Quickly making her way back out of her room she tripped over the just awaking person that she thrown from her bed.
"Who the hell are you?" Zorrita screamed
"Don't you remember? We met at that party last night, got together and you brought me back here."
"Wait I slept with you? Man I must have been smashed 'cause you're just to ugly."
"Thanks." The man said sarcastically, "But you weren't complaining last night."
Crash
Zorrita was standing next to a broken window watching the man fall from the 30 story building.
"Jerk. Now I need to find that compass, but I've looked all over. I bet someone stole it."
Police station
"Hello. How can I help you?" the uniformed officer chirped.
"I would like to report a stolen item." Zorrita fumed.
"Alright, follow me please." He led her to the squad room. She was taken directly to the captain.
"Hello I'm Captain Mochi. So what would you like to report?"
"My compass was stolen."
"Your compass?"
"Yes it was a golden compass."
"A golden compass you say?"
"Yes it was the invaluable compass that…"
"THE INVALUBLE COMPASS THAT LEADS TO OTHER INVALUBLE THINGS!"
"Yup. That's the one." She said , snapping her fingers.
"MEN!" ARREST THIS WOMEN!"
"Wait, what?"
"You stole that the compass from the museum a few days ago, did you not?"
"What did I say that compass? No it was a, uhm… crap." Zorrita said.
"MEN!"
End flashback
"And yeah, that's how I got caught, and I was on trial every until it was decided that I was gonna work for Koenma here." Zorrita finished.
Kurama, who was drinking soda at the time, started busting up, spitting soda all over.
"You reported that?" He laughed
"Shut up!"
"I'm glad I swiped that when I did."
"That was you? How dare you! I hereby ban you from my bed!"
"Right."
"And I also herby take your soda."
"Hey..."
"Alright so now we know Zorrita's past and Yuna's but what about yours?" Hiei asked turning his face to Niteblaze.
"Wait! How exactly do you know?" Yuna asked, obviously pissed off. "Yusuke?" She asked, turning to him.
"I didn't say anything! I swear!" Yusuke said in his defense, wincing at the look he was receiving. "I didn't!"
"He didn't tell us." Zorrita said. Yuna turned her glare on Zorrita.
"So who the hell did? I know I didn't tell you guys."
"coughHieicough" was all Zorrita said
Hiei glared at her. "It wasn't exactly my choice."
"What-the-hell-ever." Yuna muttered, crossing her arms.
"As I was saying. We know theirs, so what's your story?" Hiei asked, turning to Niteblaze again.
"Meh." Niteblaze said half asleep.
"Great morning person huh?" Yusuke asked sarcastically.
"Well look enough on the whole past thing. I need you to get going." Koenma said standing up.
"Well, hey wait don't you have a file on every one of your detectives?"
"Uhm, I- I can't be bothered with these sorts of trivial things!" Koenma said, sounding embarrassed. He stood up and opened the door. "Now get going you have work to do. Oh and by the way you'll need that compass."
"That was weird." Yusuke said as they all left through a portal. They were back at Ikaruga drive.
"Indeed. Well, I have the compass at my home, if you all would-" Kurama said.
"All of us need not go." Hiei stated.
"Why not?" Alucita asked.
"We just...shouldn't."
"A few people would be best."
"So we'll go get it!" Zorrita chirped and took off with Kurama right behind her.
"Oh boy. Well that's the last time we'll ever see them." Yuna said, shaking her head. She made her way to the kitchen.
"Whaddya mean?" Yusuke asked, following her.
"Think about it. We just sent off twokitsunes to a secret hideout. A secret hideout. And nobody knows where it is. Do they have any incentive to come back? Any whatsoever?"
"Good point. So...what do we do now? They might not come back."
"Hmmm..." Yuna thought it over, chewing on a frozen chocolate bar. (drool) "We should try and get to that temple."
"What are you talking about over here?" Niteblaze asked as she and Hiei walked up.
"How to get to the temple." Yuna stated.
"But didn't we just send Kurama to get the compass?" Kuwabara asked. They all looked at him.
"What?"
"You are a sad stupid little boy. We know it'll be awhile till they come back, if ever,and in the meantime we should be out there, doing something, instead of just waiting around for him and Z." Yuna finished. Everyone more or less nodded.
"Not only that, but the house feels...weird. It feels like we're being..." Niteblaze said.
"Watched? I know. I don't think the kids should stay here while we're gone." Yuna said.
"They won't be. Aunty Alucita is taking them for a trip to stay at her house in Amerikai. Won't they have fun?" Niteblaze smiled.
"Brilliant. Now we have to get to Amerikai." Yuna said.
"Why?" Kuwabara asked. He was ignored.
"I know a way to get to South America pretty quick, but..." Yuna trailed off.
"But what?" Hiei asked.
"It's...how do I put it... silly. It is the fastest way to get there, but it's not well known. The people who do know of it don't usually use it."
"What is it?"
"You have to chant 'Veht Ouin Fyo"
"That's not so bad."
"And you have to click your heels and snap your fingers." Yuna finished, a bemused expression on her face.
"You can all go. I'm staying here." Hiei said, turning to leave.
"Oh come on, it'll be fun!"
OoOoOoO Buenos Aires OoOoOoO
"So now we head for that big gloomy jungle?"
"Yup. First we need a mode of transportation." Yuna said. She looked at Kuwabara and smiled. "That means a car."
"I know what it means!"
"Sure. Did we really have to bring him?" Niteblaze asked.
"Yes."
"Why exactly?"
"Because. Kuwabara, you can sense sprit energy, right?" Yuna asked.
"Yah. Why?" He asked warily. Yuna smiled wickedly. ½ an hour later, the group was tearing through the forest in a jeep, driven by Yuna. Kuwabara was tied to the hood of the car.
"Slow down guys! There's lotsa bushes!" Kuwabara yelled.
"Ya know, you could be driving over there, where there's not so much bushes and stuff." Yusuke said from where he was sitting shotgun. ( Hehehe.)
"Well I could, but where's the fun in that?." Yuna replied. She sped up.
"Yer scaring him." Niteblaze said to her friend.
"What? Don't try to tell me if you were drivin, Kuwabara wouldn't be a bug shield right now." Yuna said with a smile, turning slightly to look at the other girl in the Jeep.
"I didn't say that. So, we're using him as a sub for that compass? How does that work?"
"He can sense spirit energy and, theoretically, he should be able to lead us to that temple. See, I'm not completely crazy."
"Says the person who's gonna kill the pawn of her plan." Yusuke said, trying to keep a straight face.
"You can walk if you really want to."
"Shutting up now."
"Which way?" Yuna yelled to the boy on the front of the car.
"A right at that big tree in front of us. A right. Turn! Turn! Anytime now!" he yelled, as Yuna swerved the car, laughing maniaclly, narrowly missing the tree. The driver laughed manically.
"Pity you missed." Niteblaze muttered. "We were almost rid of the idiot." After a bit, the Jeep sputtered pitifully and died.
"So I guess that means we're walking now?" Yusuke asked rhetorically. He, Yuna and Niteblaze climbed out of the smoking Jeep. Hiei had preferred not to ride in the human contraption and now joined them on the ground.
"Damn crappy cars. Can't take a few logs and sharp turns." Yuna said as she kicked the broken vehicle. She, Niteblaze and Hiei began to walk off.
"Uhm, guys? Don't we still kinda need him?" Yusuke asked, motioning to the unconscious boy still on the jeep.
"Yah, I guess. I was just getting used to quiet too." Yuna pouted. "Well, wake 'im up. We need to know where to go now. Great, we get to walk.!"
"You're the one who broke the car." Yusuke pointed out. she continued ranting as though she hadn't heard him.
"I hate this stupid jungle. It weighs like a billion frickin degrees." She complained as they began to make their way through thick grass. "I'm so frickin glad I wore shorts! Why does everything around the equator have to be so damn hot!"
"You do realize no one is listening to you?" Yusuke asked with a smile as they caught up eith the others.
"Did I ask if anyone was listening? Did I?" She yelled, turning to him with blazing eyes.
"Don't mind her." Niteblaze put it. "She always gets like this when we come down here. The heat messes up her brain."
"So I'm crazy now am I? It's not my fault this stupid weather sucks! Hot, humid, and muggy. Great conditions for ice. NOT!" Yuna fumed.
"Relax. It's not that hot. We'll be there soon." Yusuke said, trying to calm the agitated ice apparition.
"Do you want to die little boy? Huh? Do yah!" She asked through narrowed eyes.
"Uhm, Yuna? There leavin us again."
"Good! That means there won't be any witnesses!"
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
2 hours later, they were all tired and hungry, and they were still making their way through the jungle.
"Kuwabara, I thought you said we'd be there by now."
"Uhm, we should be."
"Then why aren't we?"
"Uhm..."
"Alright. Time to die, fly!" (I don't know what that's off of, but I love that line!)
"Don't kill me!"
"Why not?"
"Because I, the great Kazuma Kuwabara, have led us to the temple!" He yelled, slashing once more to reveal an old golden temple. Time had no effect on the impressive beauty of the ancient Mayan temple.
"Wow." The one word pretty much summed up everybody's thoughts. After a minute or two, Yusuke broke the silence.
"Well, what are we waitin for? Let's go in."
"Oh yes, let's" Yuna muttered sarcastically. Yusuke rounded on her.
"What? Don't ya wanna get this over with?"
"Yah, duh! Are you getting stupider or something?"
"No, you are! If yah wanna leave, then we gotta get this triangle thingy.Why d'ya gotta be so difficult anyway?"
"Because I can." She stated simply, following the others into the temple.
"I hate this jungle already." He muttered, walking up the steps to the temple. He failed to notice the brillaint green parrot that swooped through the door behind him.
OOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
